A lovely article. I'm not a member but the local university has a subscription. The examples of "men who claimed to have cervical smears (F) and women who were 5' tall weighing 15 stone (T) ring true. I've found people walking at 30 km/hr (F) and an addict using 240 needles a month (T). I've even found a set of 16 variables the study designers never heard of ! ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
